Scott Walker: Too Extreme for Wisconsin Families

MADISON – Scott
Walker joined right-wing extremists in Milwaukee on Saturday to
participate in a hateful, fear-based rally aimed at preventing progress
for Wisconsin families. Walker was joined by right-wing commentator
Michelle Malkin and known tax cheat Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher at
the rally, which was sponsored by corporate-backed Americans for
Prosperity.

“Scott Walker’s
open association with radical, right-wing extremists further
demonstrates the divisiveness of his politics,” said Democratic Party
of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate. “While Democrats in Wisconsin and across
the country have debated important issues in a civil manner, Walker and
others on the right have attempted to turn the debate into a shouting
match.”

Although
organizers claimed the protest was peaceful, one man was injured and
taken to the hospital. Other protestors used scare tactics,
name-calling and false claims of socialism to get their point across.

“Wisconsin has a
history of open and honest debate,” said Tate. “The fact that Scott
Walker would endorse this behavior should be a clear sign to voters
across Wisconsin that Walker is too extreme to represent them.”
